I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Christmas.
A/N: Three chapters in one day!? The apocalypse must be happening, lol! This is the epic chapter everyone has been waiting for. You'll finally find out what Axel got her as a present! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. P.S., will someone please draw the red and black collie puppy and put it up on Deviantart, I think that that would be adorable!
Chapter 20
Axel led Ari into the other room. "Okay, I get to give you your gift first!" She smiled widely, obviously very excited. He chuckled, "Okay, go ahead, no one's stopping you." She smiled wider as her blue eyes sparkled with child-like joy. She handed him the slightly heavy box and he eyed it slightly suspicious of its contents.
She giggled, "Open it!" He rolled his eyes jokingly, "Okay, okay. I'm going to!" As he gently unwrapped the box, he felt movement coming from inside. 'What the heck is in here?' he thought to himself, quite curious now. The lid came flying off and inside, Axel saw the cutest little collie puppy ever to be in existence.
It had red fur and black paws and one of its ears were black. Its eyes were the same color green as his. He smiled gently as the puppy crawled out of the box and sat happily on his lap, barking up at him for attention. He looked over at Ari, smiled and said, "I love it, this is the best Christmas present I have ever gotten." She nodded as he got up, coaxing the puppy down onto the ground.
"Now, I have something for you. Ari, we've been dating for a few years now. I have loved every moment of time that I get to spend with you each day and every day in the future. You are the light to my darkness and the music to my world. Without you, I am nothing. So, Ariana Hikari," he got down on one knee at this point and pulled out a small black box from his coat pocket, "will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
She gasped in surprise as he opened box to reveal a simple gold band. Her eyes lit up even more as she simply nodded, at a loss for words. He got up, held out his hand for hers and she gave it to him. He then slipped the ring on her ring finger. They both knew that this was the start to a wonderful life together as she hugged him with so much force that they both fell onto the floor, laughing. He hugged her around the waist as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "I love you so much," he whispered. "Love you too," she whispered back.
A/N: So, I could end the story there but I won't. The next five chapters will be wedding planning and the actual wedding. Please review and favorite this story if you want to. I would love to know what everyone thinks so far.
